The 2XL says 22" around the knee. Is that measured directly on the knee cap, or is that 3" above the knee? I want to make sure before I order. Thank

Ok here is what I did for you. I put on the band and at the very top of it (when on) it measures 26" and can expand more (feels comfortable). 3" above the knee measures ~23" and again is very comfortable with more room. I would say if you are between 20 and 24 (maybe 25) around the knee, you will be fine as there are straps that hold the thing in place.When ON:On the knee cap measures 22.5"below the knee cap measures 19"

My measurement at the knee cap is exactly 16 inches and I ordered a LARGE which is a perfect fit.

McDavid says to measure around the knee- http://www.mcdavidusa.com/Product/425R/MCDAVID_Level_2_Knee_Support_w_stays_cross_straps.aspx - I not at home to look at it, but I think I purchased the XL, and it is a nice fit for me.

I do not know for sure. I based my purchase on my regular clothing sizes. I am normally a med. so that is what I ordered. It fits well but the excess material in the back causes bunching which results in abrasion to the skin.

it is 3 inches above the knee...I needed the measurement to fit around my thigh...I have big thighs from losing a large amount of weight, so I have excess skin and its extrmemly hard and knees braces just wont fit my thigh..this one does fit and stays in place pretty well. it does fit over some jeans if you need to wear it that way.I normally wear it under my exercise clothes. there is also another brand that makes large sizes called...F.L.A... they make knee sleeves up to 3x if you need. you can return this if it doesn't fit...check amazons return policies. I hope my answer helps you.

Hello,This item is based off the knee circumference. You would measure the knee by standing and bending your leg just less than 45 degrees. Be sure to measure around the largest part of the knee, directly over the knee cap. Here are the sizes:Small 12-14"Medium 14-15"Large 15-17"X-Large 17-20"XX-Large 20-22"MMAR Sports Medicine

On the back of the box are the instructions on how to measure to determine your size. I enlarged the photo of the back of the box to determine what size I needed, my calves are 22" around and hence I ordered XL and it works perfect! I started with 2XL and they work as well, only difference is the foot is too large and I have extra room in the toes on that pair.

A soft tape measure is what I utilized per my orthopedic doctor's instruction. Otherwise measure with a shoe string and place it on a hard tape measure. Each strap has a range size that will tell you what size to order based upon the measurment around your knee. I recommend Nike vs. Pro-Tec - better made product. Good luck!

Measure around the leg over top of the kneecap and order according to the size chart shown. The brace is shaped to accommodate the shape of the leg. At least it worked fine for me.

Not at all, there is no discomfort or bunching up behind the knee. It is so comfortable and really gives my knee great support thatis snug enough but not at all too tight! Hope my response helps in you making your decision to buy. I think you will be just as pleased as I am. Btw, I had a total knee replacement and really needed the support, that works!!Do take care,Geneva

The large section that goes in front of the knee and around the sides to the back is 15 1/2 inches long. The velcro strip that holds the strap on, when extended to allow for the biggest circumference, would add about 3/4 inch -- maybe a bit more. For the strap to fit well and snugly, I would suggest that the measurement around the leg, right below the kneecap needs to be 16 inches or less.

Rather than just measure the strap length, I measured the approximate circumference with the straps connected, including the knee pad width to give you a better idea so you can use a tape measure on your legs to confirm if these will fit. Strap below the knee: Maximum about 26 inches with strap fully stretched (20 inches minimum size un-stretched). Strap above the knee: Maximum about 36 inches with strap fully stretched (22 inches minimum size un-stretched). I think these pads offer a lot of sizing flexibility, but my experience has been that the straps need to be fastened very tightly or the pads will slide on your leg while in use. Hope this info helps!

Thanks a lot. I thought we cannot trust this chart. I measure my knee and buy size "S". I doesn't fit my knee, Extremely too small. The chart must be changed.

Best I can measure, the pad around the kneecap is 1/4" and the velcro everywhere else is 1/8" thick.

I don't know exactly what you want to know. First I bought an XXL because in the past when I have purchased XL, they were too small. The XXL is actually loose and falls down when I walk with it on, but I bought it for sleeping and it works fine. Then I bought the XL for the other knee, but have found it to be a little smaller than I would like. I can wear it though.

This brace rides right under your knee cap, so you'd need to measure the area below your knee, not above.

Directions from the McDavid website: Measure the knee to be protected. Stand and bend your leg just less than 45 degrees, measure around the largest part of knee, directly over the patella (kneecap.) S - 12/14" M- 14-15" L - 15-17" XL - 17-20" 2XL - 20-22"

My husband's knee measured 13" and when he put the Small on it was way too small. I would definitely suggest getting the medium. It's one piece and very difficult to get off the leg.

The band is actually worn below the knee to relieve the pressure on the knee. You would need to measure that area just below the knee to find out. I don't have the ability to measure the full length of the band, but hopefully someone else can help with that.
